When you have something on your mind you always take up a spoon of coffee, and look at it, and kind of joggle it back and forth in the spoon, and then dribble it back into the cup again, without once tasting it.

Comments

I imagine you have to throw the balls forward. As for juggling on a train, I've never done it, but from what I understand of physics, both you and the ball are moving at the speed of the train, so when you drop something, it falls straight. Will test next time I'm on a train.

In masonry, a joint at the meeting of two adjacent pieces of stone or timber, so constructed as to produce a pressure transverse to that by which they are held together, and thus to prevent them from sliding on one another; a notch in one piece, or a corresponding projection in the other, or a small piece let in between both, for this purpose.
